Controversy Continues Over White House Ballroom Construction

The construction of a new $300 million ballroom at the White House is expected to be completed by summer 2028, just before President Trump leaves office. The project involves demolishing the East Wing, which has raised concerns about its impact on the historic grounds and architecture. Despite some environmental and historical concerns, the National Park Service concluded the project will have no significant adverse impact, though it will alter views and remove some trees and structures.
